Review - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo | GUFUyourself.com

GUFUyourself writes - "It would be easy to succumb to just comparing David Fincher’s English adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s wildly successful novel “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” to the superior Swedish original, but it isn’t necessary. Even when viewed on its own, the remake is at best a sub-par thriller, one that is well made from a technical standpoint but lacks any sort of substance that would make the mystery compelling or make us care for the people tackling it. Hell, it never really makes us feel like they are in any danger at all until the latter portions of the film. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo instead chooses to plod along and let things unfold because they have to, without taking time to shed light on characters or allow them to solve the mystery at hand."
